Pune: Name is Force India, but the team is hardly Indian and it faced international criticism for the same. Vijay Mallya, chairman, Force India Formula I racing team, will start a talent hunt for Indian racing car drivers, starting at go-carting centers.
“The team is non resident Indians now but I am looking to indigenize it although there is more to an Indian team than merely having an Indian in the cockpit of a racing car.”
“I intend to find young Indian drivers, invest in the search and train the talented youngster. We will start a series of programmes to locate talent at go-carting tracks in the next three-four months,” he said.
So all the eligible drivers, buckle up if you have a passion to drive and take your shot.
The tie up with CRL is expected to acclerate Force India’s
computational simulations for better on-track results which will be
complemented by the Indian F I team performing wind tunnel testing at
its UK location.
Pointing to the importance of the service to be offered by CRL, Mr
Mallya said every F I team is fighting to improve speeds by even a
hundredeth of a second.
